RPGmaker horror games seems capable of telling only one kind of story so it always boils down to which one does it with the better characters and subtlety.
Fausts Alptraum isn't as visually creative and striking as Hello Charlotte or OFF but it also isn't as trite shite as Coffin of Ashes, so I'd say we strike a neat balance and get a familiar but heartfelt goth spin to Goethe's magnus opus.
I also appreciate that, while still using loads of madman logic for certain puzzle and way too much backtracking, the gameplay tried to be interesting and really tested what could be achieved with the engine.
